Cho Kyu-seong (24, Jeonbuk), striker of the Korean soccer team, is receiving love calls from multiple overseas teams. It is known that the transfer fee of Cho Kyu-seong, who started to attract attention through the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, is 2.2 million pounds (approximately 3.3 billion won).
The British Daily Record said on the 28th (local time), “Cho Kyu-seong is receiving interest from the Scottish Celtic club.”
According to the media, in addition to Celtic, Rennes (France) and Fenerbahce (Turkey) are also keeping an eye on Cho Kyu-seong.
The Daily Record explained, “Dortmund (Germany) and Ferencvaros (Hungary) have recently lost interest in signing Cho Kyu-sung,” but “he captured a lot of public attention through his performance at the Qatar World Cup.”
Cho Kyu-seong, who entered the Qatar tournament as a striker for Bento, played an active role in the second group match against Ghana (2-3 loss) by scoring ‘multi-goal in one game’ for the first time in a Korean World Cup challenger.
The media compared Cho Kyu-sung, whose stock price is soaring, to retired English football star David Beckham.
The Daily Record said, “Cho Kyu-seong is a person close to Beckham in the Asian soccer world.”
Meanwhile, Celtic, which is showing interest in Cho Kyu-sung, is known to be uncertain about the future of attacker Giorgos Giacumakis (Greece).
The media added, “Giacumakis is likely to leave Celtic in January, and Celtic coach Enze Postecoglu highly values Cho Kyu-seong (as a replacement).”
